Snails and stickleback

Well done to Punnetts Town for sending in their observations of some fascinating behaviour of pond snails gliding around on the front of the underwater camera on pond cam and also a great close up of a stickleback. (screen shot left)

Other observations from Punnetts Town included more stickleback observations in the same pond and also mallard ducks on the winterbourne stream
